Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Reminder that from the beginning of next year I’m available for work! Writing, narrative design, historical & narrative consultancy, research, teaching. I’m particularly fond of applying historical approaches to worldbuilding & storytelling in interactive mediums

This should be sobering reading for the government departments, Labour MPs, and UK voters who are still on that platform. If it was owned by any faction other than US tech it would surely be banned.

Can’t the superintelligent machines figure out where to get the money?

Holy shit Mamdani has been winning since he was a little kid

This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

“Hey, you know that thing almost everyone hates and even its supporters talk about as if discussing an airborne virus? The thing that’s massively unprofitable and a huge drain on the planet? Yeah, we’re going to need billions of dollars to keep making it”

Friends, we're back to self-publishing (which is both fun and scary). We'd be really happy if you wishlist the Simogo Legacy Collection if you have any interest in it! store.steampowered.com/app/3817040/...

Wow, can't believe soulless, dead-eyed slop merchant Mr Beast doesn't like charismatic, kind, empathetic NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani

M+S Gingerbread & White Chocolate cookies are dangerously good.

Mildly intrigued by Fortnite x Simpsons, but knowing there's a Harry Potter collab on the way makes it an easy swerve

Last night was the worst Cuomo result since 'We Are All On Drugs'

just....enjoy this

a dream commission: i spoke to @realgdt.bsky.social, jacob elordi, & oscar isaac about how the changes to mary shelley’s novel in their FRANKENSTEIN create a powerful, deeply intimate form of adaptation

Honestly, there aren't many more fun things in games this year than taking down a Lynel or a Hinox with this li'l guy. The clear standout of a fine spin-off that ends strongly.

Age Of Imprisonment: it's Calamo's world and we're all just living in it.

Christ, he is supernaturally good at this.

Perhaps one of my favourite recent #Book announcements: HEARTBEATS, DREAMS AND LASER EYES: 15 YEARS OF SIMOGO Once again, the team at @lostincult.co.uk in partnership with @simogo.com. #LoreleiAndTheLaserEyes #YearWalk #SayonaraWildeHearts #Indie #Gaming #Booksky @schillingc.bsky.social

John Lewis: we have AFTERSUN at home

Finally...Device 6

Perfect. No notes.

A typically elegant collaboration between @Simogo.com and @Arkoty.pe for Heartbeats, Dreams and Laser Eyes, these stamps would add a touch of class to any letter — if they weren't too good to give away! 📨 Pre Order by January 2nd: lostincult.co.uk/simogo

The one good thing about Twitter was that it tempered the impulse to become a scold, whereas on BlueSky it appears to be actively encouraged.

The perfect dad-joke doesnt exi-

This is such a good puzzle game, I wanted to stream it this week but had simply no time - if you want something really fun for Halloween night, this is the game!

An internet Halloween story (1/3)

For those of you with a taste for the finer things in life, our Deluxe Edition of Heartbeats, Dreams and Laser Eyes comes in a softback book with some stylish gloss detailing from leading designer @arkoty.pe 🖥️ Last preorder is January 2nd!

Oh hey, a new Halloween special of #DSR! Matt and I reunite to tackle V/H/S/2: one fewer short in this anthology but double the fake blood (and questionable nudity). We discuss the infamous Dogcam, GoPro zombies and *that* birth sequence. All business as usual. open.spotify.com/episode/5ukO...

Co-signed. Even the super-tough (largely optional) stages feel eminently surmountable

Some people asked! Here are the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features: • Mouse controls using Joy-Con 2 controllers • 120 fps in 1080p resolution in handheld mode • 120 fps in 1440p in TV mode / 60 fps in 4K in TV mode And *yes*, the upgrade pack for the Nintendo Switch 2 version will be free.

We've got two versions of Heartbeats, Dreams and Laser Eyes for you to pick from, Standard and Deluxe, both with the same slick design and writing you've come to expect, but with some juicy optional extras for you to pick up at your leisure 👀 Pre-Order by Jan 2nd! lostincult.co.uk/simogo

Great issue, this

I mean, just look at it

Delighted to have Miri back on booklet duties for this one, she did such a brilliant job on Hob's Barrow that it was a no-brainer to work with her again

Well, I’d like to see ol Sammy Altman wriggle his way out of THIS jam! (Pleased with the ruling, obv, but not hugely optimistic this will have the desired result)

Our latest Edition has arrived and it's a banger! Had the pleasure of working with @pepesalot.bsky.social and @bloomerart.bsky.social both of whom turned in stunning artwork. It was a huge pleasure to work with @abki.bsky.social who co-art directed this with me and was invaluable throughout.

Oh yeah I was busy writing the essay for this lately 👀 hehe I ❤️ @kaizengameworks.com

So, we're releasing a lavish physical version of one of 2025's best games: www.lostincult.co.uk/editions

Excuse me, I think you should read my debut piece for Game Informer. “We should probably cut the reference to drunk driving” — my first edit at Game Informer. 🙏

It has been a long, long road finishing this project, but MORSE, my strategy game that teaches telegraphy, finally releases on Steam November 11th. To those who've waited, thank you for your patience. #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games #indiedev

Two extremely good games, both worth buying at full price but borderline criminal not to pick them up for this amount

Not now, truck hauling monkeys carrying hepatitis C, herpes and Covid

You might've missed our very dapper announcement, but we've put Heartbeats, Dreams and Laser Eyes: 15 Years of @Simogo.com up for pre-order while you were away! 💗 Get your mitts on one of our pretty Deluxe Editions before January 2nd! lostincult.co.uk/simogo
